My friends tell me I run a Wild Life Preserve in addition to the Zoo I have in my house. Well, I think that might be going just a tad to far. They are partly right, I agree I do have a Zoo in my house or maybe it just sounds like that sometimes. You see I have two Parrots, Echo and Chiquita  or the bird formerly known as Chico. You see when Chico laid eggs, I knew it was time for a name change.  Then there is Cloud Dancer (Cloudy) and Gracie Lou, my two dogs. Most of the time my house is very quite, like now the only sound you here is my typing, other times you would be well served to have a pair of ear muffs, like when Gracie and Chiquita play their favorite game “Come Here Gracie and Bark At Me So Mom Will Yell At You” . You can guess the out come of this game, Gracie gets yelled at and the bird formerly known as Chico sets in her cage and says “Gotcha Sucker” Echo, my other parrot never stops talking as long as there is someone around to listen. Sorry I got side tracked I wanted to tell you about Jake and Willow.

Jake and Willow are two Road Runners that have chosen my deck to roost on every night, this has been going on for almost a year now. Jake started coming to the house and making my deck his hang out, his favorite thing to do is pester the dogs. He dose this by pecking on the picture window and making them bark at him, I think it is funny but drives the dogs nuts. Couple months ago he had a friend with him, turns out she is more than a friend. You may ask how I know this, just trust me I do. So one day the dogs are barking like crazy and I go to check and there is Jake on the hammock jumping at the picture window (or so I thought) turns out he was trying to get to his new friend who is hiding on an outside speaker and he can’t get to her. Every night she is there and he is on the top of the cabinet by the door, makes you wonder if he is still trying to figure out how she gets up there. Anyway this is Jake and Willow. As you can see Willow just fits on that speaker no room for that pesky Jake and every night she is there and most of the time Jake is on top of the cabinet but every once in awhile Jake will go wondering and not spend the night and like any Mom who’s kid stays out all night I get all upset but then the next night or so Jake will come back home to Willow and the dogs.

Till next time World, Sharlet
